Would be nice to know who to tackle when nothing else's up for a casual game.

2.)
Tournaments start this weekend. Might be interesting for those that have time. As this is considered Tournament Testing there is no Entrance Fee involved. So ya can only win:

3) One weekend later theres gonna be a Promo Event for LoN within EQ/EQ2:

I hope the droprate of these 2 promo cards is higher than what the Booster have been so far.

/sigh .. I hope I can find some time to make at least that weekend. Or maybe if people come by these cards they can keep it for me and we work something out or so. Though I am probably not able to pay the inflated prices that ya would get for it in the bazaar.

So if ya dump them there for probably rediculous amounts of pp I can fully understand it

I tried it and did not care for it too much. I went thru the tutorial and still had a hard time with trying to remember how to activate things.

I went back thru the tutorial for some of the sections and just decided I would not care to play. I guess the thing that turned me off as well was the very limited drop rate on booster packs and the need to buy something to be able to trade.

I have poked around at the tutorials and had to redo some of 'em many times. I have a grasp on the concept of the game and have played a few rounds with other players, all of which I beat to a bloody pulp.

I'm game for some LoN action. The tournament sounds like a good time....mmmm pick any loot card.

Well, the winner picks up a loot card. Thats 1 player out of 256 .. don't give me a big chance to actually win it. Not with so many people around that play much more or even played it already as it was still Auto Assault (provided the transition from the AutoAssault theme to the Norrath EQ theme was easy for them).

Anyhow, probably chances to get into the winning ranks are higher in this free tournament where maybe people join that don't have strong decks.

Once ya got to pay Entrance Fee the player in Tourneys are mostly people with extreme strong decks that probably blow me right away to the desktop.

Just coming to think off it .. that as I mentioned Auto Assault player in the post above that actually peps don't know the story behind Legends of Norrath.

Not sure if ya noticed. As the eq independent game client was released people suddenly showed that obviously had a) very refined decks and b) were very skillful in playing considered thats LoN initial learning curve isn't trivial (especially with the shitty tutorial they delivered).

Looks familar?:

LoN is actually not a SoE development. Sony bought AutoAssault about a year ago, shut it down and tranfered the postnuclearautothemewhatever into fantasy style.

When they brought it back up former AutoAssault player had their cards converted. Surprisingly people seem to take such a drastic change pretty well. Most seem to actually prefer the new fantasty theme over the old one.

I bought a bunch of cards, but I haven't even run the tutorial yet. If you are looking for some specific rare non-loot card, send me an ingame email with your request. I'm sure we can work something out in trade. Sorry no goats please...

you didn't miss much. basically they started the tournament, the server crashed, started it again, it crashed again, they announced that the server load tests had failed and that 1 in 10 participants would be awarded a booster... I was one of the unlucky 9. yay for 2 hours wasted.

I've messed around with this a little, I just have the starter deck and what I've earned through the scenarios. I'm currently going through the Scenarios, at the point where I have to beat Droon (might have the wrong name, one of the cyclops from the karanas in EQ) the 2nd time, I already escaped him once. He's been handing my arse to me the last couple times, haven't tried in a while now though, I'll probibly give him another shot Tuesday when the servers are down for SoF.
